Business communities in the United States are facing high demand for human resources, but one of the constant challenges is identifying and attracting the right talent, which is perhaps the most important element in remaining competitive. Companies in the United States look for hard-working, talented, and qualified individuals both locally as well as abroad.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of the US permits foreign workers to come to the United States to work on either a temporary or permanent basis. The act also protects US workers against adverse impacts on their wages or working conditions by ensuring US employers' compliance with statutory requirements when they hire foreign workers to fill workforce shortages. The immigration programs are administered by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC).
OFLC processes job certification applications for employers seeking to bring foreign workers into the United States and grants certifications in those cases where employers can demonstrate that there are not sufficient US workers available to perform the work at wages that meet or exceed the wage paid for the occupation in the area of intended employment.
In FY 2016, the OFLC processed 775,979 employer applications for 1,699,957 positions for temporary and permanent labor certifications. This was a nine percent increase in the overall number of processed applications from the previous year. The process of reviewing every case is becoming a tedious task as the number of applicants is increasing every year.
The increasing number of applicants every year calls for a Machine Learning based solution that can help in shortlisting the candidates having higher chances of VISA approval. OFLC has hired your firm EasyVisa for data-driven solutions. You as a data scientist have to analyze the data provided and, with the help of a classification model:
The data contains the different attributes of the employee and the employer. The detailed data dictionary is given below.

The average size of employees in the employer's organization is 5667, and the median is 2109. This indicates a skewness to the size of employees and the presence of outliers, while the minimum is invalid because it is negative.
The year 1800 was the earliest year of establishment for the employer's organization, while 2016 was the latest.
The average prevailing wage of occupations is USD 74,455 while the median stood at USD 70,308. The highest paying occupation earned USD 319,210

The case ID attribute can be dropped as it is a unique ID variable and is not expected to add value to the status of an accepted visa.
There are six continents in the database, with most applicants from Asia.
There are four different levels of education, with Bachelor's being the highest education degree for most applicants.
The majority of applicants do not require further job training. to perform the intended occupation in the US.
There are five different regions in the US requiring immigrants due to Human Resource shortages, the maximum being in the NorthEast US region.
There are 4 different units of wages with yearly being the most common. The prevailing wage and unit of wage may need to be studied in union to gather further insight.
Majority of the occupation with employee shortages are full time positions Case status is the attribute of interest (which needs to be predicted by our ML model).

The random forest model is showing indications of overfitting on the training data. The model's performance metrics are high for the training dataset, but the metrics do not generalize well to the testing dataset. This suggests that the model is overly complex and may benefit from measures to reduce overfitting, such as adjusting hyperparameters or employing regularization techniques.

The results obtained from the optimized model align with the observations made during the exploratory data analysis (EDA). The most influential attribute affecting visa certifications was found to be the education level of the employee. Additionally, other important attributes that were identified include prior job experience, unit of wage, and the education of employees having masters. of employment within the US.

** Based on the exploratory data analysis (EDA) and the tuned XGBoost model, the following features were found to be important in determining whether a visa application is certified or denied:
Education of employee: Applicants with a higher level of education, such as a doctorate degree, have a higher chance (over 85%) of their visa being certified, while those with only a high school certification have a higher chance (over 65%) of their visa being denied.
Unit of wage: Employees with a non-hourly pay rate (e.g., weekly, monthly, yearly) have a higher chance (over 70%) of their visa being certified, whereas employees with an hourly pay rate have a higher chance (over 65%) of their visa being denied.
Continent of origin: Applicants from certain continents, such as Europe, have a significantly higher chance (over 80%) of their visa being certified. Additionally, prior job experience is an important factor, with applicants having work experience having a higher chance (over 75%) of visa approval compared to those without work experience (50% chance of visa denial).
Region of employment opportunity: The region within the US where the employment opportunity is located also plays a significant role. Cases in the Midwest or South regions have a higher chance (over 70%) of being certified.
Interestingly, attributes such as job type (full-time/part-time), job training requirements, annual prevailing wage, year of establishment of the employer, and the number of employees in the organization do not have a substantial impact on the visa certification decision.
The tuned XGBoost model, after hyperparameter optimization, provides reliable predictions on both the training and testing datasets without overfitting. It achieves an accuracy of 75% and an F1 score of 82% on the test dataset, indicating that it captures around 80% of the information.
The precision and recall scores are also high, with precision at 77% and recall at 88%. However, it is worth noting that the confusion matrix reveals a higher percentage of cases being correctly classified as certified, but a lower percentage of cases being correctly classified as denied. This limitation should be taken into account, and a reevaluation of denied cases may be necessary, especially during periods of human resource shortages in the US. Nevertheless, the model remains helpful as it significantly reduces the time spent on further evaluation, as only a small subset of cases would require reevaluation.
